Story Highlights
- 10 thousand international runs in 228 innings of Babar
- Babar at number five in the list of world records
Babar Azam Virat Kohli: Babar Azam, the captain of the Pakistan cricket team, may have a good brotherhood with former Indian captain Virat Kohli, but all this is outside the field. Babar’s target is always Virat Kohli’s records as soon as he enters the field.
Babar is constantly taking advantage of Kohli’s poor form and breaking his records. Something similar has happened this time as well. Babar broke a big record of Kohli and he has become the first cricketer in Asia to score the fastest 10,000 international runs. Babar achieved this feat in the Galle Test against Sri Lanka.

In this case, he broke Kohli’s record. Kohli achieved this feat in 232 innings. Along with this, legend Sunil Gavaskar, Sourav Ganguly and Javed Miandad have also been beaten.
